By: Rachita Sharma, Managing Editor | Friday, 6 June 2025

A thriving real estate industry is the cornerstone of any strong economy. A crucial part of the economy, the Indian real estate sector contributes over six percent of India’s GPD. Although caught in the troughs owing to the pandemic and inflation, the real estate sector is picking up pace and moving towards growth.

While the industry moves forward, there is one segment of the society that has historically been kept on the sidelines of the aforementioned growth, i.e. women leaders.

For years the real estate industry has been a male dominated industry. Factors such as outdoor work conditions, erratic work hours and the unstructured nature of the industry have made the real estate sector non conducive for women professionals.

However, the tides are changing as a new crop of women leaders foray into the sector. From property consultants, channel partners, to heading multinational real estate development firms, women are making a mark in the Indian real estate sector. Having overcome systemic and societal roadblocks, plethora of women leaders are not only scripting personal success in real estate but are also ushering in an inclusive future for the industry.
